I love this post. When my Violet was about 2, she stood in front of the mirror, all sturdy and chubby and butt naked, and declared, "Momma, I am boootiful!" Oh, to feel that way! It sounds like you're doing a great job preserving this.

I'm doing the same thing to my daughter that my mother did to me. Obsessing about my weight in her presence, so now she's too aware. We are back-tracking and talking about how it's about being healthy and FEELING your best. DOH!

Good job momma! You are a beautiful person and I have no doubt that your daughter will be the same way. It's hard raising girls to have a positive self body image when we are so hard on ourselves...and you hit it spot on by saying you learn together. I loved this post!!!
